Since the Duke of Qi Xianggong sent Ji Shuo back to Wei, led the Four-Nation Alliance to defeat Wang Shizitu, and let Qianmu go, he was always panicked and worried that the king of Zhou would come to seek revenge. So he sent the doctor company to be called the general, and Guan Zhi's father was the deputy general, leading the troops to kill Kuiqiu to contain the Wang Shi. Because if the army of the king of Zhou came to crusade against the Kuiqiu, the southeast road would enter Qi.

Qi Xianggong thought in his heart that if Wang Shi crusaded, Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu would be able to buffer the enemy somewhere, and allow himself to prepare for the battle, so that he would not be defeated by Wang Shi in one fell swoop due to insufficient preparation. In fact, Qi Xianggong thought about the Zhou royal family complicatedly. Since the defeat of King Huan of Zhou and Duke Zheng Zhuang, the Zhou royal family no longer has the courage to compete with the princes.

Even the title and management to the father of the two generals to lead the order. However, the father of the temporary management still had an extra heart, and asked Lian Cheng to ask Qi Xianggong to observe the time.

Because Lian Cheng's sister was included in Qi Xianggong's harem, this Lian Cheng also became Qi Xianggong's brother-in-law, so Lian Cheng dared to bargain in front of Qi Xianggong. Lian Cheng asked Qi Xianggong and said: "The lord knows that it is very hard to defend in Kwai Qiu, not to mention the people to eat and the horses to feed, and after a long time, the sergeant cannot be allowed to live in a temporary tent, and he must be careful everywhere, and the minister is willing to take the order to hold on, but I don't know how long I will hold on?"

Qi Xiangcheng was eating melons, so he said casually: "Don't worry, it's the season for melons to ripen, and when the melons are ripe next year, the widow will naturally send someone to take over your border task." ”

This Kwai Qiu is an important line of defense in the southeast of the Qi State. It is located in the south of the city of Linqu (qú) An important pass of Qilu, known as Muling Pass. Mulingguan had to start from Linzi and walk southwest for six or seven days. There are the Great Wall on the left and right, and the two ridges of the book case, which is the pass of the ancient Qi border plug at the eastern foot of Yishan Mountain. It used to be a strategic point for Qi and Lu to compete with each other, and it was also an ancient, majestic and most dangerous pass for Qi to prevent the invasion of enemy countries in the southeast. It is also the "natural danger barrier in the south of Qi" in the hearts of Qi people.

The city wall of Mulingguan is solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there has always been the risk of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open". During the period of the Duke of Qi, it was still insufficient, and a second city wall was built ten miles north of Muling Pass as a line of defense. These two lines of defense go north from the neck and leg on the east side of Taiboding, pass through Caoshan Pavilion, Taiping Mountain, Qingshi Hutong, Chengding Mountain, Jieyue Mountain, and Woniuyi, turn a big bend in Linqu and Anqiu, and meet the first city wall at the Yishui border, so that the two city walls enclose a "city" with Mulingguan as the core and a radius of 50 miles. The pass of the two city walls is called "Daguan", and not far north of Daguan is "Xiaoguan". Xiaoguan, Daguan and Muling Pass, the three passes of the triple defense line, constitute a complete and in-depth defense system in the southern part of the Qi State. But after all, this is the border fortress of Qi country, sparsely populated and inconvenient. The sergeants guarded it as a very hard errand. In the past, there were always local cities that sent troops to guard in turn, but now in the eyes of Qi Xianggong, it is necessary to guard against the attack of the soldiers and horses of the Zhou royal family, so the elite of the sect and the father of the Qi State will not guard it. Of course, the soldiers and horses who are in charge of the father do not have to go to this bad border fortress every day. Most of their men and horses still have to be stationed in this city called Kwai Qiu, but every day they have to send a small number of sentries to the city wall to look and observe, once the enemy situation is discovered, it is to send a signal to the troops in Kwai Qiu City, wolf smoke, the soldiers stationed in the border city will quickly climb the pass and engage the invading enemy army.

Lian Cheng and Guan Zhi's father got the military order, so they had to lead heavy troops to Kwaiqiu to garrison. The army left the capital of Linzi and drove for two days to Quqiu City, which was the fief of Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun was ignorant and learned that Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu led troops to guard the border fortress, opened the city gate and welcomed the army into his city. Gongsun Wuzhi asked his subordinates to entertain all the soldiers, and he brought Lian Cheng and Guan Zhi's father to his palace, served good wine and good food, and the three of them pushed the cup and drank happily.

said that he was drinking happily, and even said that he knew that Gongsun was ignorant and had a lot of depression in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it deeply. I'm afraid that I will stab Gongsun ignorant at once. Sun Wuzhi felt very cordial because he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was cautious on one side, but he had nothing to talk about. After three cups, Gongsun asked ignorantly, "Is Master Lian good?" "Because Lian Cheng's father is Jiang Zhu'er and Gongsun Wu's ignorant master.

Lian replied: "My father died the year you left Linzi!" ”

Gongsun listened ignorantly and began to cry loudly. I don't know what to do with my father.

Gongsun Wuzhi poured a bottle of wine and knelt facing the north, crying and saying: "Master...... ignorant and incompetent, he didn't even fulfill his obligation to send you to the end, he was a student incompetent!" Woo woo ......, the master is in the spirit of heaven, forgive the student for not being filial piety for you, you can only send a bottle of wine in the next life, I wish the master to bless your descendants in heaven with wealth and happiness! ”

Gongsun cried ignorantly, and even made Lian Cheng cry with tears on his face. Lian said: "When my father was dying, he asked about your whereabouts. The father said...... "Lian Cheng glanced at Guan Zhi's father, but stopped.

Gongsun Wuzhi asked, "What did the master say?" ”

Guan Zhi's father said: "Big brother doesn't have to mind, Gongsun is ignorant and not an outsider. ”

Lian said: "My father has repeatedly said: Ignorance is a man who knows how to read and understand righteousness, and he is a student he likes in his heart. Just ......"

Guan Zhi's father asked, "Just what?" ”

Lian said: "My father thinks that Gongsun is ignorant compared to Jiang Zhu'er, and he is not a descendant of the family. Otherwise, the wheel of martial arts and the wheel of Taoluo are all above Jiang Zhu'er. ”

Guan Zhi's father sighed and said, "This is incomparable. ”

Gongsun Wuzhi filled the wine bottle for the three people, and then raised the wine bottle and said to the two people in front of him: "The two generals are drinking, and my Gongsun Wuzhi is walking right, and it is enough to be worthy of the ancestors in the big temple and the right brothers who get along with me." The three of them drank it all, and Gongsun Wuzhi continued to fill the wine bottles of the three of them and said: "My Gongsun Wuzhi will not do that kind of thing that hurts nature and reason, and will not do that kind of thing that destroys human nature. Of course, the heavens will not trouble me, and my grandson will live happily in ignorance. ”

Lian Cheng first raised the wine bottle and said, "It's good to live happily!" This is more important than anything else! Come on——! ”

Guan Zhi's father also raised his glass, obviously he had already overdosed, and his tongue did not obey the call.

"Today, our three brothers have a hearty drink together, if he is in need of the brothers, the two of us are soldiers who dance with guns and sticks, and we can do it for anyone, and if the grandson is in need, I can also come to the house to watch the family nursing home. Of course, General Lian can't, General Lian is the brother-in-law of the king, and he has to serve the king. You can also soar! ”

Lian slapped the hand of the Father with his hand and said, "What do you say, brother! I don't even say that this is a person who obeys his commands. Besides, I know that my sister is not happy. ”

Gongsun Wuzhi hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "That year, Jiang Zhu'er framed me for breaking into Concubine Lian's room in order to drive me out of the East Palace. The sky has eyes, my grandson is ignorant, but he can't do that kind of thing! ”

"I know, my father has long said that it was Jiang Zhu'er's frame-up!"

Lian Cheng suddenly took Gongsun Wuzhi's hand and said, "My father has great hopes for your Gongsun Wuzhi, and his old man's spirit in the sky will bless you." ……”

Even the father of Cheng and Guan Zhi was so drunk that he was almost about to sleep on the wine table. Gongsun Wuzhi asked the two generals to be helped to rest in his palace.

Coming out of Quqiu, the army went straight to Kwai Qiu. Along the way, Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu discussed the topic of Gongsun ignorance.

Guan Zhi's father said: "At the beginning, the ancestor cultivated Gongsun Ignorance and Jiang Zhu'er as the son of the world, and later Jiang Zhu'er was still going to ascend the throne. ”

Lian said: "This is a question of origin, after all, Jiang Zhu'er is the son of the world, the son of the first monarch, and the grandson is ignorant, no matter how strong his ability is, he is still a side branch." ”

Guan Zhi's father said: "Then what do you mean that your father has hope for his grandson's ignorance? ”

Lian said: "My father said that Jiang Zhu'er didn't care about doing things and acted recklessly, and one day he would cause big trouble." ”

Guan Zhi's father said: "Yes, I killed two kings in a row, destroyed the king's division, and sent us to defend the Zhou royal family and sent a large army to attack." Do you think that the Emperor will one day really have an assassin kill him? ”

Lian said: "That is, our brothers are close, but these words can't be said to other people, it's going to lose your head." ”

Guan Zhi's father said: "That is, I am your general's person, and I can only talk to the general." You said that there are so many assassins in the country who want to kill the king, even Wang Ji wants to kill the king. Not to mention Zheng Guo and Lu Guo. In the event of an assassination of the king, do you say that Gongsun is ignorant and can sit on the throne of the king? ”

Lian said: "When my father was alive, he said that Gongsun is ignorant and has a gentleman's appearance. It's all a matter of course. ”

Guan Zhi's father said: "Even if the king is assassinated, there is still the son of the king, as well as the sons of the princess, Jiang Jie and Xiaobai!" ”

Lian said: "You don't know how many times the king sent someone to assassinate the two sons." Forget it, none of this is something we can worry about. ”

After walking for several days, the army led by Lian Cheng and Guan Zhi's father arrived at Kwai Qiu.

The two generals chatted with the residents of Kwai Qiu Castle, and they were ignorant of the severe shortage. The palace of Euijae is not large, and the facilities are very mediocre. Of course, Yi Zai did not dare to offend the army sent by the monarch in Linzi City, and vacated half of the palace to stay in the palace and the two generals who managed to live in the palace. Outside of the Yi Zai's residence, there is no good house to choose for military use. Helplessly, even the father of Lian said and managed to build a military tent in a good location. This side set up a military tent, and the two generals climbed the Xiaoguan, Daguan, and Muling Pass, and the two generals drove and walked for most of the day. At the pass, the wind and sand are strong and the sun is poisonous, and the sergeants who have been guarding the pass all the year round have not only dark faces, but also shed skin layer by layer. It is very difficult to stand guard at the pass, drink saliva, and it is even more difficult to eat.

After inspecting the three passes, Guan Zhi's father said: "The king does not regard your general Lian as his descendant." Such a hard errand should be given to me who has no relatives and no reason in the DPRK and China, how could it fall on the head of the eldest brother? ”

Lian Cheng snorted with his nose: "I knew that he Jiang Zhu'er didn't take my sister seriously." My sister and he can only suffer. ”

Guan Zhi's father suddenly showed a strange smile, and said to Lian Cheng mysteriously: "I heard that it is true that Jun Shang will sleep with Meng Yang in his arms at night?" ”

Lian said: "Don't talk about this. These are not jokes, they are going to lose their heads. ”

Guan Zhi's father quickly restrained his ridicule.
